Sleepy Ash



Kuro (クロ)  is the deuteragonist of the manga, Servamp. Kuro, named by Mahiru Shirota himself, is mainly known as Sleepy Ash and the oldest of the eight Servamps. He hadn't had an Eve for many thousand years until Mahiru picked him off the streets one day and accidentally made a contract with him. From that day on, Sleepy Ash listened to the name Kuro.

Appearance
If Kuro is not in his cat form, he has shoulder-length, blue hair with his front bangs reaching his eyes. His eye colour are red and he has big, dark bags under them. They are always half-lidded and express a feeling of boredom. Just like any other vampire, he has pointed teeth.

Kuro mostly wears a blue jacket which is a tad darker than his hair colour with the hood pulled over his head, the black fur looking close to the one of his cat form. He is wearing the bell Mahiru gave him as their contract symbol around his neck as sometimes seen in official illustrations, which is apart from that mostly hidden under his clothes. His blue jacket is often buttoned open, either a simple black or white shirt hiding under it. On both sides, Kuro has chest pockets and a logo on his left shoulder. The hem of his jacket splits into many threads, starting short at the front but grow in length as they reach his back. His white pants are skin-tight and held up with a red belt, which is rarely seen. Kuro wears long, black boots that almost reach his knees.

Kuro is actually taller than he seems since he always walks around with a hunched posture and hands in his pockets.

As a cat, Kuro has black fur and red eyes. Around his neck he is wearing Mahiru's bell as a collar with red leather. His tail splits at its end into four, close to the threads at the back of his jacket in his human form.
